Important Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of this UPS system. The battery pack owner's manual also contains important instructions and warnings. Read the battery pack owner's manual before attempting to install the UPS system.

UPS Location Warnings

•The UPS is extremely heavy. Use caution when lifting and installing.

•Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, direct sunlight, dust and conductive contaminants.

•Install the UPS in a structurally sound area.

•Only operate the UPS at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C). For best results, keep indoor temperatures between 62° F and 84° F (between 17° C and 29° C).

•Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its ventilation fans or openings.

•Do not install the UPS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

•If you are installing the UPS in a stack configuration, always stack the power module above the battery module(s).

•Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered under warranty.

UPS Connection Warnings

•The power supply for this unit must be split-phase rated in accordance with the equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded.

•Connect the UPS system only to a four-wire input power connection (L1, L2, N, G). This UPS requires an input neutral connection.

•Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC power source. Do not modify the input connection in a way that would eliminate the connection to ground.

•Do not use adapters that eliminate the connection to ground.

•Do not connect the UPS input to its output; this will damage the UPS and void the warranty.

•If you are connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting the UPS to a generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.

Equipment Connection Warnings

•Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide

•The UPS is connected to a DC energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC power source.

•Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of the UPS. This might overload the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Maintenance Warnings

• The UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the UPS for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Battery Warnings

•Do not operate the UPS without connecting the power module to an external battery module.

•Connect only Tripp Lite battery packs to the battery connectors. Connect battery packs of the correct voltage and type.

•The internal batteries in the battery pack are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in the USA call

800-SAV-LEAD (800-728-5323) or 800-8-BATTERY (800-822-8837), or go to www.rbrc.com for complete recycling information. CAUTION: Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire, as this could cause the batteries to explode.

•Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, batteries should be changed only by trained service personnel observing proper precautions. Remove watches, rings and other metal objects. Use tools with insulated handles. Wear rubber gloves and boots. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals. Determine if the batteries are inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the source of the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

•Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes, and may be toxic.

•Fuses should be replaced only by factory-authorized personnel. Blown fuses should be replaced only with fuses of the same number and type.

•Service and repair should be performed only by trained personnel. During any service work to the UPS, it should be turned off or placed into manual bypass mode (see Manual Bypass Procedure). Note: Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is connected.

•Do not connect or disconnect external battery pack(s) while the UPS is operating from the battery supply.

•During hot-swap battery pack replacement, the UPS will not provide backup power in the event of a blackout or other power interruption.
